I think so

The nation has gotten less smart because people only spend there time worrying about whats on Facebook. People don't spend time with family, they spend there time caged up in there rooms waiting for someone to bring them dinner. We all do this some time so I'm not judging anyone.

I think that Phones and Technology should be used only a little bit.

I think Teens are getting too obsessed with Technology. They are not Concentrating in study and they are not focusing on studies. It causes blue light. Some teens say that phone will make you fall asleep. But its not true. Blue light causes you to stay awake. So teens will stay up until 12 which is bad for their health. Scientists have said that about 7 million people get brain damaged by playing on it. Technology's have virus that go to your head which makes it bad.So you should leave it next to you but Shut down or leave it out of the room/

Can you imagine the Dangers of banning technology?

I can imagine the dangers of banning tech ! Starvation, more dieing people, no anything. The fact is humans are so used to there comfy cosy lives that to take away there technology would be like taking a fish out of water. Probly everything you own was made by technology. Even the food you eat has been harvested with machines ore altered in some way! Plus take away tech and people will just make more so what can you do?

Taking away technology increases danger.

I don't know about you, but I'd prefer my child not spending time with the family over getting killed by a tornado. Think for a second. Hurricane warnings, tornado warnings, all of these things are spread through online news and social media. Without them people would die. Also many other things like crime alerts and important police notifications wouldn't happen because there would be no way to tell people about them.

I'm going to assume that by technology you mean High technology

First let me tell you the difference between high and low technology. Only one of these requires a power source, (I'm assuming you can tell which), so low technology includes clothes, tables, paper, while high technology includes computers, heaters, and lights. Now, when you say "we should ban technology" that essentially states that we should be plunged back into their primitive forms as homo erectus. Would you really want to walk around naked with no light source other than food and being forced to forage for food? I doubt it. Now, I know what you meant, we should ban computers to the general public right? Well, were we to do that we would lose access to the majority of the outside world, with our only way to communicate being through landline and passenger pigeons. It's generally not a good idea, not including the fact that it would be far harder to access your needs and services considering how computerized of a society we are. Every file where no hard copy exists would have to be printed and stored, kept safe and preserved. People would need separate rooms just to hold important documents! Nobody would like that. Once again let's narrow this down a little more. By technology, which you meant computers, I'd assume you mean ban social media. No, that's not happening. Through social media people can share pictures and information from across the world, making it far smaller. It can spread the word about new ideas, discoveries and images quickly, and it allows the common person to socialize with friends from the comfort of their own home whenever they want. And sure it lets people be stupid but who cares. You mentioned that social media has dumbed down American society. It's probably worth mentioning that a lot of the countries that are smarter than ours are either small or communist. We still possess 10 of the top 15 colleges in the world, we may not be the smartest in general but we have the smartest scientists engineers and doctors. So yeah, that will conclude my opinion, thanks for reading.

Tech is good.

This major advancement can get us to Mars if we put our minds to it. We use tech for navigation, such as the GPS, and use an (Android) girl named Siri. We need to have technology, else we would be like the "Settlers" from DirecTV. These schools would never exist without tech in building. Plus, the cars and such transportation would never exist. Support technology, and maybe you could change the world!

Not what you think

Without technology, life becomes a lot harder. Things as simple as a wheelbarrow are considered technology, since they were not something found simply in nature all that time ago. Computers and phones nowadays are essential, the opposition states that everyone simply spends all their time on their phones and not with family or exercising etc. Think about it though, the main point of facebook is to improve communications. Someone deployed in Iraq or wherever we'redeploying soldiers now can keep in touch with family through technology. Also, initially, before major civilizations, we were in what's called a subsistence economy, this means we work for food, to get energy, to work for food, etc. If technology were to be eliminated at this point, humanity would fall right back to that point since technology is now so important in our everyday lives. Even now you're on your phone/mobile reading this, because you use your tech almost everyday if not everyday.

No technology should no be banned

I dont know what you think technology is because technology is everything from lights to a shoe lace but besides that technology should not be banned because if it was there would be no power and people who need machines to live would die communications would cease economies could crumble we would be more like cave men technology is not only the new smart phone and social media its everything man made
